SPRING AND WINTER WHEAT.
Weekly Crop Summary of the Farmers
Review, of Chicago.

Review, of Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 15.-The following is the
weekly crop summary printed by the Far
mers' Review:
Our reports for the past week show that
while some localities were favored with
seaonable rains, others and the greater
number are needing rain, and that in its
continued absence crops Will suffer
seriously. Reports on the condition of
winter wheat continue favorable. Fourteen
counties IN Illinois report an average con-
dition OF 80 per cent; Marion
and Williamson report injured by
chinch bugs, and Bureay from drought.
In IndiaDs, Clay, Laporte and Crawford
Counties report at 100 per cent. Hendricks,
st. Joseph and Parke as good; Ohio as fair,
aud Noble as poor. In Ohio the average
condition in six counties reporting by per-
centages is SO per cent. Brown County re-.
ports condition fair and good, and Clinton
good. In Michigan SIX counties report an
average condition OF 90 per cent. and Mont
calm reports above the average. From
Kentucky, Muhlenburg, Nelson and Trim
bic Counties report the condition at 100
per cent; Whitley County, % per cent !;
Crittenden and Lawrence, fair. and Web
ster good. From seven counties in Mis-
souri, it is reported an average condition of
los per cent, three report good and one
DC4OW tuC ofCldSC' CIOm EducdS clBut
counties report an average condition OF 20
per cent. Chautaqua and Graham report
condition good, Nesse reports poor, and
Cherokee damaged by chinchbugs. Re-
ports from the winter wheat counties in
Wisconsin indicate a condition of IS to 80
per cent.
The spring wheatgrowing territory gives
the following figures: Ten Iowa counties
report an average condition of 90 per cent !;
two report good, one above the average and
one below. From Minnesota nine coun-
ties report the condition fair to good.
Seven counties in Dakota report full aver
age condition, and the same is true of six
counties reporting from Nebraska. While
the showing on the whole is fairly good for
the time these reports were forwarded, it
remains fact that continued dry weather
will materially reduce these percentages of
condition. Throughout almost the entire
territory covered by our reports the mea-
dows and pastures are reported as needing
rain.

INCREASED RAILROAD RATES,
Effects of the Interstate Commerce Law
Upon our Trade With Canada,


WASHINGTON, May l6-The Department
of State has received and transmitted to
the Interstate Commerce Commission for
its information, letter from United States
Consul Twitchell, at Kingston, Canada,
upon the subject of the Interstate Com
merce law. The Consul says: "Canada's
high protective tariff, in which there Is no
prospect of reduction, has made me appre-
hensive from the first of the effect of the
increased railroad rates on imports from
the United States to this section of Canada.
Since the 4th OF April these rates as shown
by freight bills here paid, have been in
creased from % to 100 per cent. with no
change on Canada roads. After waiting
thirty days for effects, / have made a
partial canvas of the importers OF the city
of Kingston with the following results:
Coal dealers are preparing to bring from
Nova Scotia coal for all purposes where
the Nova Scotia coal can be used; two
Can coal have put in their orders for Nova
Scotia coal. In hardware and pressed tin.
ware find orders have been changed from
American to Canadian houses on account
of freight. In groceries there is the same
of the United States they now expect to
by way of British Columbia aud Halifax.
The unpleasant feature in connection
with my canvass has been the general ex-
pressed desire to find how and where they
may make their purchases without coming
in contact with American railroads. With
the general national reaching out for trade
1t seems to me unnecessary to prophecy
what will be the effect upon the American
manufacturer, wholesale dealer and rail-
road by these general inquiries"

looking gentleman got off the Richmond
accommodation. at the Griffith House he
registered as DR.. Charles Orr, Salem, Ohio.
The doctors strange actions soon attracted
the attention Of the hotel guests. 0rr's de.
fusion led him to believe that someone
was trying to elope with his wife, and he &C.
cerdiDgly appealed to the authorities to
have some one arrested. At the telegraph
Office he deposited check of $3.50 on the
Salem, Ohio, bank, with Manager Rhodes.
Mrs. Orr and daughter arrived on the night
train from North Manchester, Ind, and it
was not until late that night that the doc
tor gave vent to his queer hallucinstion,
of abuse on his wife. Finally the Deputy
Sheriff took charge of the maniac. Mrs.
Orr attributes her husbands insanity to
overwork. Orr has been at Cincinnati
under treatment.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH,

Hardly week passes without the men,
ton by the newspapers of sudden deaths,
and of late the alarming frequency of the
statement that death was caused by rheu-
matism or neuralgia of the heart can not
fail to have been noticed. In all proba-
bility many deaths attributed to heart dis
ease are caused by these terrible diseases,
which are far more dangerous than is gen.
orally considered. Is there any positive
cure? The best answer to such question
is given by those who have been cured by
the use of Athloph oros.

This community was startled and astound-
ed on reading an editorial published in the
New Orleans Ptcayune, upGGr date of Noyem-
Der 23d inst, headed s'Estilette in St. Landry,
and containing most gratuitous and calum-
nous Iaslnuatlons against the official charac-'
ter and conduct of this gentleman. To say
that this attack is regarded as an outrageous
libel is to but feebly voice the sentiment of
the people of this judicial District irrespec-
tive of political differences, who we'll know
that the entire article was simply inspired by
the most purblind and malevolent political
partisanshp.
We do not propose to enter one word of de-
nal of such wanton charges as the character
OF Judge Estilette, as Judge, and as man,
is too wei known in this community to require
a defense ut our hands. Nor do we propose
OF the political course Of Judge Estilette in
this campaign, further than to say that even
his opponents have never gone so far us to
charge him with political dishonesty, or hy-
pocrisy. But, when newspaper such as the
New Orleans Pioayune so far prostitutes it's
functions as to deliberately charge an honor
ed member of the judiciary with having drag
ged the judicial ermine in the mire of politics
then, on the part of the people of this Judicial
District, We boldly call upon it to produce the
proofs of such alleged official dercliction.
